How we perceive our experiences and surroundings has a direct impact on what goes on within. At times, it's our own perceptions that make a situation or conversation feel offensive, terrifying, or insurmountable. These are the times it becomes the most challenging to perceive things with an added light, a unique interpretation, a subtle difference. Start simple. Ask yourself today about one thing in your life - "If I approach this from a different angle, even if it feels absurd to my "normal" - might it become more innocuous?" The answer might not be obvious or clear right away, but give it a try. Over time, notice the effects.
